At the moment, a video will delay testing. Perhaps when our workload lightens up a bit, we may get a video done.

Don't want to say too much about the rain now, but what I will say is it was a pretty big job to create. (Just rain...go figure!? But it took 3-4 weeks to finish) I'll definitely look at adding it to the DC-3, but seeing as the Saab is in beta testing, I want to wait until after the Saab is out before the next DC-3 update.

Has no one picked out what that screenshot shows?

JS32 length is a slash over 47 ft. Saab 340A is just under 65 ft.

Been working on the flight model trying to straighten out a few performance issues. It should be out within weeks.

I should have put the in my last post.

The day SASL is put into the DC-3 or the MU 2 is the day I quit developing add ons.

Ok Ben...THAT'S a good one! I actually laughed.

^-------What he said Just to add to that, we COULD choose to go the "lite" road, but we gave up on that and we're only interested in creating near 100% procedure level aircraft add ons.

We're addressing a few things that people have mentioned and the trim indicator is definitely one of them.

This is not part of our immediate line-up. It's a "We might do it if we get around to it" project.

We don't like giving out release dates, purely because there can be many unknown variables. (Fixing 1 thing which can break 5 others) All I can safely say is we are rapidly approaching external testing.

Oops. I meant EMB 120. (See what happens when working without caffeine?) We're on the fence about it because we can get all the information on it, but a slight downside is that it is quite similar to a Saab 340 with regards to systems.

The ERJ 120 is another one near the top of the list and is also being heavily considered.

We're considering several turboprop options after the Citation, and the 1900D is definitely near the top of the list.

No idea.

Ah, Andy....notice I didn't use the word "difficult". I said "tedious" and "time consuming".

We would LOVE to make a Royal Turbine Duke. However, information on the aircraft conversion is extremely difficult to find.

Quite a post. I did see your comments before and when I see comments that have a somewhat negative undertone, I usually don't reply. First, it's very unlikely we're going to make more Citations any time soon. After the Saab and Citation, we have another 2 (possibly 3) add ons planned...1 of which is the 742. Modern glass cockpits and systems are extremely tedious and time consuming to make. A perfect example of this is the Saab 340. We COULD make a lite version, but we don't want to go down that road anymore. Everything we make from the Saab onwards will be "procedure level". The turboprop market is one we have been seriously considering on exploiting. In our down time, we have been looking at various turboprops and found some very interesting ones we would like to create. With 1 in particular that caught our attention. (Don't ask, coz we ain't telling!) As for developing for FSX or any other platform...that is extremely unlikely. We have our own reservations to not develop for FSX and I don't really want to go criticizing it on certain points. I'm sure it is a great platform for users and developers alike, but for us, based on what we know about it, it lacks certain features that are readily available in X-Plane. Weather radar being just one example.

Apparently, this is taken from an actual Qantas maintenance sheet. P is the Pilot reporting the problem and S is "Solutions" marked by the engineers. P: Left inside main tyre almost needs replacement. S: Left inside main tyre almost replaced. P: Test flight OK, auto-land very rough. S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft. P: Something loose in cockpit. S: Something tightened in cockpit. P: Dead bugs on windshield. S: Live bugs on back order. P: Auto pilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent. S: Can't reproduce problem on the ground. P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear. S: Evidence removed. P: DME volume unbelievably loud. S: DME volume set to more believable level. P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick. S: That's what friction locks are for. P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode. S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode. P: Suspect crack in windshield. S: Suspect you're right. P: Number 3 engine missing. S: Engine found on right wing after brief search. P: Aircraft handles funny. S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right and be serious. P: Target radar hums. S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics. P: Mouse in cockpit. S: Cat installed in cockpit. P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer. S: Took hammer away from midget.

I will have a look at this and maybe reduce the ground friction. Keep in mind, the ground modelling in X-Plane MIGHT be somewhat suspect. I'm not pointing any fingers, but it seems the gravel or dirt runways restrict take off speed a lot more than it should be. I'll see if I can find some kind of compromise between hard surface and soft surface runways. The one major problem is, if I reduce ground friction, the DC-3 is almost impossible to stop on hard surface runways.

A turboprop DC-3. I can imagine the engineer's meeting on that one. No promises, but we'll see. We have a full plate for at least the next 12 months.

When you finally have it, you will see where all the hours have gone into it.

The 744 is extremely complex. We literally have gigabytes of documents and videos on this aircraft and to transfer all of that into an add on will take quite a while as it will be study level.
